 Build from Source 
Open WebUI is excellent on the desktop. On mobile it breaks down at the edges:
authentication behind a reverse proxy, streaming that drops when the app
backgrounds, getting a screenshot into a prompt, starting a chat from the home
screen. Conduit is a real Flutter app built to close that gap, and as of 4.0 it
works with or without an Open WebUI server at all.
Your chats live on your device first. Nothing routes through a backend the
maintainer operates.
## Ways to connect
On first launch Conduit asks how you want to connect. Pick one, add the others
later, and skip any sign-in you don't need.

| --- | --- | --- |
| **Open WebUI** | Your self-hosted server | Full feature set: chats, folders, notes, channels, workspace, tools, web search, image generation |
| **Direct** | OpenAI-compatible, Ollama, OpenRouter | Talk straight to a provider or a model on your own machine. No Open WebUI account required |
| **Apple On-Device** | Apple Intelligence | Run Apple's local model offline on eligible iOS 26 devices without an API key |
| **Apple PCC** | Apple Private Cloud Compute | Use Apple's private cloud model on eligible iOS 27 devices without an API key |
| **Hermes** | Your self-hosted agent | An agent that runs tools, asks before sensitive steps, and works on a schedule |
**Direct connections** cover OpenAI-compatible endpoints (Chat Completions or
Responses), LM Studio, Azure-style API versions, native Ollama, and first-party
OpenRouter. Bring an API key, or skip it for a local endpoint that doesn't want
one. Direct connections you already configured in Open WebUI come along
automatically. Keys and custom headers stay in platform secure storage.
**Apple On-Device** is an iOS-only Direct provider backed by Apple's local
SystemLanguageModel. It requires iOS 26 and Apple Intelligence, works offline,
and supports streaming, sampling controls, and JSON-schema responses with a 4K
context window. Image input, reasoning controls, and tool calling are not
available.
**Apple Private Cloud Compute** is an iOS-only Direct provider. It uses Apple's
Foundation Models framework, streams responses through the same chat path as
other Direct models, and requires iOS 27, Apple Intelligence availability, and
Apple's managed PCC entitlement. It supports image input, reasoning levels,
sampling and output limits, JSON-schema responses, live quota/context status,
and an optional on-device fallback for PCC network failures. Tool calling is
not enabled.
**Hermes Agent** connects to your own Hermes server. You watch its tools work
live, approve sensitive steps before they run, and let scheduled agents run
while you sleep. Conversations and schedules get their own tab, and Conduit only
exposes the capabilities your server actually reports.
